The 115,000-square-foot facility was redesigned by New Orleans-based architecture firm Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and was finished in March 2012. Architectural Record pegs the project's cost at $13.8 million.

The architects said the design was intended to encourage interaction between employees and spur creative ideas during chance meetings in corridors or around the coffee pot. The exterior of the building was mostly unchanged, but architects created a large, interior courtyard and opened the overall space inside to make the connections between floors flow better.

“Lamar is a vibrant, forward-thinking organization, and Eskew+Dumez+Ripple understood that our surroundings needed to be stimulating and inspiring,” CEO Sean Reilly said in a statement. “We are honored to be a recipient of the Good Design is Good Business Award, and we feel privileged to work in a building that fosters creativity and collaboration among employees every day.”
